Government warns inflation could rise up to 6 % in 1H 2011

Singapore economy is facing a tighter labour market and inflationary concerns that may prompt further monetary tightening.

According to the Ministry of Trade and Industry, inflation is expected to rise further to 5.0 to 6.0 per cent in the first few months of this year. Thereafter, inflation should moderate, especially in the second half of the year.

For 2011, the inflation forecast has been revised from 2.0 to 3.0 per cent to 3.0 to 4.0 per cent. The Monetary Authority of Singapore's core inflation forecast, which excludes the cost of accommodation and private road transport, remains unchanged at 2.0 to 3.0 per cent.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
